New Coffee Mess

We one had a table to put out items from care packages and when we added a coffee maker, the food and coffee supplies were too much for one flat surface. I was collecting scrap boards to make a shelf for the table, but the camp ran out of plywood and the KBR folks came and took off with my wood. Since there was no plywood on camp, I had to come up with another design on the fly. I scoured camp and found a broken desk and wardrobe in a junk pile headed to the dump. I took the desk and wardrobe apart the best I could and hauled the pieces back to the office area.

I put together the basic shelves the first day and then over the next two weeks, I found a thin sheet of plywood scrap and some Plexiglas from a broken sign and made some drawers to hold the small stuff. We received a few more care packages and the shelves filled up fast. The broken desk gave me enough parts to make the drawers work.

Some of the wood was warped and considering I couldn’t find a flat surface to construct the shelving on, I had to do my best in guessing how to keep it square enough to be sturdy.

The drawers hold wipes, drink mixes, utensils, popcorn, and coffee fixings.
